Hey guys we have just got a new camper trailer (Tru Blu Crow offroad) that we are itching to
test drive before our GRR trip in May.
Has anyone got any suggestions of a
good spot preferably near a bit of water 2-3 hrs out of
Karratha to
camp this coming
easter w/end that wont be packed?
Your secret spots are safe with me.... I promise! ;-)

Hi Colby- you could try Jimbygnyinoo
Pool, or Bullinawarra
Pool. Both are along the
Fortescue river. So about 90 ks on the bitumen, and about 10-15 ks off road to the location. Should be no trouble getting in with a 4wd and camper. Both sites have
waterholes to cool down in so take your inflatable floatie toys. No facilities- need to take water and bush
toilet arrangements. Both locations are on station property so you will need to get permission from the station owners.
Easter weekend- there should be others around to help if you hit a snag, but not so many as to be cosy. I personally would give
Millstream a miss. The road is bitumen almost all the way and this means every man, his dog, brother, mother in law etc will be camped out there. Another place would be
Deepdale which is off the road to Panna. If you are getting into camping and exploring up there I strongly recommend you consider joining the Reddog 4wd club. Lovely bunch of people focused on safe, sensible exploration of the
Pilbara area.Cheers, doc.

Thanks mate a few more I can add to the list. Yeah we were keen to stay clear of
Millstream and Karijini.
I spent a bit of time today on the Reddog 4wd club website, looks the goods + it turns out I worked with a few of those guys in a past life.
A few
places they mentioned that sounded good were Blackrock
Pool,
Kangan Pool,
Cliff Springs, Yeerawa
Pool and George River. Now iam just trying to find these on oziexplorer/Google Earth. Is there anywhere to go to get the GPS locations of these??
Thanks
